The intent of this paper is to discuss how the recent court rulings on the current workers compensation statutes will impact the rules to Florida's workers compensation laws. Workers Compensation system is a social justice system that protects both the employer and employee. Employees that are injured while in the course and scope of their employment give up the right to sue, making workers compensation an exclusive remedy. In exchange for giving up that right, the injured worker receives statutory benefits in a no-fault system. This paper covers the legislative changes over the years that have impacted the constitutionality of the system and discusses how these changes have failed to uphold the legislative intent and design of the entire system. It covers the decisions rendered by the Florida Supreme Court and discusses the implications of those decisions. ; 2017-12-01 ; B.S. ; College of Health and Public Affairs, Legal Studies ; Bachelors ; This record was generated from author submitted information.
